Name: Heather & Katherine
Location: Duplex Nation - Austin, Texas
Size: 2,000 square feet
Years lived in: Heather bought the house as a duplex in 1999. We converted it from a duplex into a single-family home in 2009 – 2010.

Heather and Katherine took a 1948 home in the middle of Duplex Nation— a small community of about 60 duplexes in central Austin— and turned it into the modern, open space of their dreams. Proving even cinder-block construction can be remodeled, the home now has enough space for them to relax, cook, and entertain. We got the House Call back in May, and now we're finally ready to give you the full tour Apartment Therapy-style — with details, pets, and even a dinner party.

Name: Paul of Okay Yellow and Lauren
Location: Fifeville, Charlottesville, Virginia
Size: 1,895 square feet
Years lived in: 5 months; Owned

As an art therapist, Lauren knows that art can communicate symbolic self-expression. The 1925 farmhouse she shares with her fiance, Paul, is a thoughtfully curated collection of colors, objects, and spaces that combine to create a piece of art reflective of Lauren herself: feminine, but tomboyish; open and whimsical, but with a bit of dark mystery; fresh and evolving, but with an old soul. In this space, imperfect, everyday found objects, such as an ancient bone, feather, or key, are elevated into treasured artifacts, put on display in an ever-changing living museum, where touching, and feeling, are encouraged.

Location: St Louis, MO
Size: 1,100 square feet

Rohde (pronounced road-ee) Hill's home is visually stimulating — punctuated by pops of bright color and loaded with interesting things. The result is modern and dramatic. He's a family man, a recent transplant to the suburbs of Saint Louis with his wife and two children. What could easily be a single person's city apartment is actually a mishmash of items that look expensive, but aren't too precious for a regular household with kids.
